ICANN Staff has released "Staff Manager's Issue Report on the Need for a
Predictable Procedure for Changes in the Operation of TLD Registries"
the most important paragraph is excerpted below. There are a few gems in
this document (ie - "There is an inherent monopoly power in the
operation of any TLD registry.") that aren't reproduced below, so it is
worth a complete read-through:

Recommendations to the GNSO
PDP Should be Initiated
In view of the analysis above it is the recommendation of the Staff
Manager that the GNSO initiate a PDP to develop a policy to guide the
establishment of a predictable procedure for ICANN’s consideration of
proposals by registry operators and sponsors for changes in the
architecture or operation of a gTLD registry. This formulation of the
issue to be addressed in the PDP is based upon the 16 October 2003
decision of the GNSO Council that the topic of the PDP should be “the
need for a predictable procedure for introduction of new Registry
Services (as defined in the gTLD registry agreements).” It is adjusted
to reflect the reality that proposed changes may include but are not
limited to things that could be called “services” or “products,” and
that any proposed changes that could have the effects described should
be subject to an appropriate consideration process.
